oyster mushroom po' boys

Family Favorite

Tonight we had Oyster Mushroom Po' Boys. In lieu of battered and fried, though, we make pan sear them with panko bread crumbs. The panko gets crispy and crunchy, the mushrooms get nicely seared and we save a bunch of deep-frying oil.

These sandwiches can be topped with either lettuce and tomato or cole slaw. We do the slaw with tartar sauce.

Mikel requested this - my oyster mushroom man - and the rest of us are thrilled when he does. When I first made these, I did batter and fry them, but over the years this has become tedious, not to mention unhealthy. It is so much better to deconstruct the mushroom and batter. The slaw adds a nice creaminess with the hot sauce, for those using it.

aquafaba tid bits

If you are using homemade aquafaba make sure it is nice and thick and viscous. If you are using canned aquafaba, reduce it by 1/3 before using to get the right consistency. Strain the aquafaba before using; warm aquafaba strains better because it is thinner. Aquafaba thickens as it cools.
